Tom Brady: Argentina's stunning World Cup rally past Egypt might top 28-3

Tom Brady is the author of arguably the greatest comeback in sports history.

>But even he’s not sure about that after Tuesday’s action at the World Cup.

>Egypt held a 2-0 lead over Argentina in the 79th minute and was roughly 20 minutes away from upsetting the reigning champions and potentially ending Lionel Messi’s World Cup career.

>But Argentina’s Cristian Romero scored in the 79th minute. Messi equalized in the 83rd minute. And Enzo Fernández scored in stoppage time in the 92nd minute to secure a stunning 3-2 win for Argentina.

>With the win, Argentina advances to the quarterfinals with its hopes of a repeat World Cup title intact. Egypt’s World Cup ends in agony, excruciatingly short of one of the great upsets in the tournament’s history.

>Per OptaStats’ Greg Harvey, it marked the first time in World Cup history that a team has rallied from two-plus goals down in the 75th minute or later to win in regulation.

>And Brady has a new candidate for the greatest comeback — and the greatest collapse — in sports history.

Yeah so that might top 28-3 🤯

— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) July 7, 2026If you’re not aware, Brady’s Patriots rallied from a 28-3 second-half deficit to secure a 34-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. The comeback win secured the fifth of seven Super Bowl victories for Brady and elevated him to the GOAT status that he enjoys today.

>It was a monumental achievement in the career of one of the all-time greats in any sport. The same can be said for Messi’s and Argentina’s win Tuesday, especially if they go on to win the World Cup.

>And surely not lost to Brady: Argentina secured Tuesday’s stunner at Mercedes-Benz Stadium — the home of the Atlanta Falcons.
